First Micro Exam

stpauligirl · Feb 8, 2006

Hows everyone doing in Micro? Had any tests?
Got a 93 on my 1st lecture exam yesterday, but the class average was 64? We have another lab test tomorrow and those are getting progressively harder. Maybe people just have really full schedules and no time to study...I cant wait to get this over with myself.

Well, I hate to bust your bubble :chuckle but I got a 101% on the first lecture test yesterday Our class average and the average of the other sections were also very low, teacher was disappointed but happy that at least 2 students in our class got 100+ WE get better numbers on class average tomorrow and I'll keep you updated.

That's awsome that you got a 93.....keep up the good work and we both may get an A in this class. I would be so happy. Our teacher is very good and gives us every oportunity to do well, she gave an excellent review, makes you scratch your head why the average is so low....short from giving us the answers on the tests she is extremely easy to figure out. I believe people don't study and that's the reason why they don't do well.

We have weekly lab quizzes and so far I have Ace'd all of them, too.

Well.......I got an 89.5% today. Did pretty good considering she had two items on there (one worth 10 pts) that she didn't include in her review list. But I'm quite happy since I got a C in anatomy and am not a fan of Bio.

Great job ladies. Keep it up and soin we'll be :nurse:

An 89.5 doesn't that round to a 90? I hate it when teachers include things on tests that wasn't covered in class and in your case wasn't on the review list. It can really mess things up. You did great too, and keep up the good work. The first test is usually the hardest. My a&p class was crappy like that, nobody had any idea what he would ask and then he had stuff that we didn't cover. I felt cheated on each and every test, it was awful. Hang in there!

Congratulations on everybody's test scores!! Those are great!! I have my first micro lecture exam on Tuesday and I'm freaking out! It covers seven chapters! I hope I do as well as all of you! :)

Congratulations ya'll!!

If I got through Micro, ANYONE can get through it! Just study & memorize. Things will make more sense when you start staining in lab. Another little "heads up", the immune response is a very detailed process to study; however, since it was a process, I was able to form it into a "story" and remember it. That test was the best grade I got that semester.

The next test will be over everything there is to know about viruses and Illnesses that are caused by Bacteria. Looks pretty scary and deep :uhoh3:

Just had my first Micro exam tonight 70 pts total.

40 mult choice, 10 short answer and a 10 pt essay. "You are a mad scientist engineering a pathogenic bacterium. Describe all structures and features." (My defence is that if i'm a "mad" scientist :banghead: , my design would be highly irrational and not understood by an sane person anyway. Maybe I should have engineered a lactose loving opportunistic pathogen that cultures in icecream and attaches to roof of it's host's mouth via fimbrae. This bacterium produces toxins that give it's victim pizza burn and mass confusion.) I dunno. I feel I did well on the test.

My teacher is very vague. The material we covered most in our lectures was hardley on the exam...Not a good sign when someone leaves the room crying after 10 minutes. Yikes, I guess there will be an empty seat come monday...
